It’s official. It’s 2024 and the bow trend is still going strong. Before you run off and get a tattoo like Hailey Bieber, remember that the millennial mustache walked so the Gen Z bow could run. In other words, in 10 years, the trend is probably going to be cringe as fuck. But who cares! The ice caps are melting! Live in the now!
I admit, I’m loving this bow moment. I want to incorporate more ribbon in my life. Sue me!! But not all of us ribbon-lovers are created equal. Some people like the idea of being a Bow Girl, while very much knowing in their soul that they are not. I respect such people. For example, when I asked my coworker if she is pro-bow, she said, “If I ever wore a bow, everyone in my life would send me to a hospital.” Knowing thyself is a useful skill.
If you are unsure what category you fall into and care very much about other people’s opinion, then by all means take this very official quiz. Unfortunately, this is not 2015 BuzzFeed so I can’t offer you the technology of button clicking. You will be forced to do girl math. But you’ll be rewarded with an accurate aesthetic reading, which should protect you from cyberbullying. (No promises though. Bow forth at your own risk.)
Sorry, you’re just not a Bow Girl. I mean, sure, you might be able to appreciate the soft satin, but who are you kidding? If your friends saw you in a bow they’d be concerned for your mental health. Stop trying to branch out and try new things. Put your hair up in a messy bun and accept your fate.
Honestly, you could go either way. The potential for being a Bow Girl is there if you just reach out and take it. What’s stopping you? Probably your fear of commitment. Bring that to your next therapy session, bitch!
Wow, what is like knowing you are literally a walking trend? Go Bow Girl, you go, girl! This shouldn’t come as a surprise because you were probably stopped for an impromptu street style photo sesh. But remember, with great accessories, comes with great responsibility so go forth and overshare in your Instagram caption you sexy, little try-hard.
